MotivationMonthly mean wind stress and curl in the JES area
Stable conditions in winter, changeable and weak, on monthly time scale, wind in summer Are there any patterns in summer wind?

Leading complex EOF mode from wind vectors accounted for the general wind direction effect of the East Asia monsoon (Trusenkova et al., 2009).
Previous results from 1°-gridded NCEP reanalysis (ancillary data for the SeaWifS Project)
However, fraction of the total variance was not high any impact of higher modes?There were fictional alongshore wind gradient zones fictional curl zones.

Sea winds from QuikSCAT
http://www.remss.com/qscat/scatterometer_data_daily
High resolution data over the water surface.
However, frequent gaps due to satellite swath divergence and rain contamination
QSCAT merged with reanalysis provides data over the sea and land.

1) The complex form of the EOF analysis applied to wind vectors. X(r, t) = ∑
Ak*(r)Bk (t), where
X(r, t) = U(r, t) + iV(r, t), U/V are zonal/meridional wind components, Ak (r) = Ak (r)e-iϕ
are spatial CEOFs and * denotes complex conjugate, Bk (t) = Bk (t)e-iφ
are principal components (PCs), Ak , Bk are spatial and temporal amplitudes ~ mode intensity,ϕk , φk are spatial and temporal phases (-180°, 180°) ~ wind shear in space and time.
2) Correlations detection of low amplitude signals ~ wind over the landCovariances ~ signal magnitude anomalies from weaker signals can be lost.
3) Low-pass filtering by the inverse wavelet transform, Morlet mother wavelet of the 6th order.

• The East Asia Monsoon pattern with characteristic wind directions and seasonal shifts is the leading complex EOF mode of wind stress over the JES.
•Contribution of higher modes is not significant.
•The results are consistent with the previous findings from reanalysis data (Trusenkova et al., 2009).
•Winter pattern is the leading EOF mode of wind stress curl. Fine features are resolved, such as several curl dipoles related to orographic gaps.
•Over the central JES, the AC wind stress curl prevails in late winter and autumn, while oscillations between the cyclonic and weak AC curl occur in summer.
•Over the northeastern JES cyclonic curl prevails in spring and autumn.
